Ian has a can-do attitude, making him an invaluable and adaptable teacher. He enjoys working in different environments, especially within our partner hospitals and after 15 years of volunteering, he is still as keen as ever.
Having been on 16 programmes to 12 countries since 2005, he was one of the first UK volunteers to work with our new plane on its very first programme, which took place in China.
He has been to Syria, Cambodia, Bangladesh and Nepal among other countries with Orbis and regularly supports the charity by delivering public speeches to raise awareness of avoidable blindness.
